The hiring process was going to be a two stage interview process and this was made clear at the start of the first interview (following successful shortlisting via applications). The first interview went reasonable well with the panel attentive and friendly. I the received an email to say I had not been successful at this stage. This was then followed by an email later on the week that I was invited to a second stage interview. I clarified this with the recruitment team and then arranged a time for the 2nd interview. My task was to prepare a presentation for the panel. The panel at the second stage were uninterested and generally the experience was cold compared to the panel at the first stage. I did not hear anything following the interview. After a couple of weeks I chased up with the recruitment team- and I got no response. After over a month I finally received an automated message to inform me that I had been unsuccessful and not shortlisted for the next stage. I was not aware of a third stage! I was really disappointed that after the time devoted to preparing for the interviews and task I was completely blanked and not given an opportunity to even ask for feedback. Very negative experience and I will not be applying to future roles at WWF due to this.

The process consisted for this position consisted of an initial intake interview with both program and HR staff via Skype involving a presentation. Two follow up interviews were scheduled over a series of several weeks with progressively more senior program staff. Lots of opportunity to ask questions and learn about program and culture but some delays in hearing from the HR staff which may have been a result of their process.
